Andrew De Leon, a 19-year-old make-up artist, blew away judges and won over the crowd at the "America's Got Talent" auditions held Tuesday in Austin, Texas.

Leon, clad in all black garb and wearing dark eye makeup, said that he had never before sung in front of anyone -- including his parents -- prior to this performance. Nevertheless, he got on stage and moved the crowd to tears with his opera singing.

"You've been hiding in your room all these years, but you've never let the world see who who you are or what you are," Howie Mandel, another judge, added. "And it's not that you're good at anything, you are great."
